I loved the possibility to walk along the jetty where we can enjoy the breeze and beautiful sunsets. The seafood restaurant with Yemeni specialities and the Italian restaurant were great options while the buffet was very convenient. The ability to organize excursions with the assistance of the concierge was much appreciated.

A gorgeous Arabic-influenced palace, with spa services and nice pools facing the sea, supported by friendly and attentive staff. Overall still overpriced for what it offers. The Italian restaurant is great but the other main one was under renovation; great international tv channel selection; would have enjoyed a morning newspaper and a room service menu in the room. On the way to become a 5 star hotel for sure, but except the price, not there yet. It surely will be with time. Overall a very pleasant and memorable stay, but a notch too expensive.

Very good hotel - but needs to do it's bit!
A very good hotel - although the price (as everything in Djibouti) is ridiculous. The hotel didn't arrange a pick-up from the airport, even though I had requested - and despite their being Kempinski cars, they refused to take me - but other than that, the stay was great. Very comfortable bed, in a well furnished and clean room. Food quality was very good - and staff were very friendly. (Although the expectation that you tip high for everything is annoying) The only thing I'd say - is that in a country with plastic waste everywhere, Kempinski really should be doing more. Plastic straws, plastic stirrers, plastic in the bathroom - it's nearly 2020 and you're using 2000 ideas. A few healthier menu options, without meat would be nice too.

Crow-infested Kempinski
Absolutely filthy property considering this is not a cheap hotel. Crows and bird poop everywhere. The lawn by the pool was brown and covered with trash (as was the private beach). Unacceptable given the price to stay there. On the bright side, the service and hotel staff--especially the managers--were super nice. The food onsite was pricey but very good.

Best meal in Africa!
Wow, They treated us so well! We loved the day trip to Lac Assal; just the right combination of a little adventure with a chance to see the lowest spot in Africa which is stunningly beautiful. We stayed two nights should have stayed three. Definitely enjoy the Yemeni bread and fish at the Bankoule restaurant right on the beach in the hotel. Absolutely fabulous.

Charging $52 each way for an airport transfer is a rip off. The check in policy is also geared to people on expenses who dont care about cost. On the surface this hotel looks good. Scratch under the surface however and everything is substantially overpriced.
